Quote

It's unarguable to say that every one of us has been moved by the beauty of what I have called snapshots, but for photographers they are charms and proverbs, and like lightening or wild strawberries.

If you accept the idea that photographers, or some of them, are actually artists, then you have to look at their work less as a document of something than as a personal vision of the world.

I profoundly believe in - and teach - the proposition that photography is inherently a fiction-making process. Don't speak to me of the document I don't really believe in it, particularly now. A picture's not the world, but a new thing.

Cameras are like dogs, but dumb, and toward quarry, even more faithful. They point, they render, and defy the photographer who hopes.
